1T is not safe to boom a town too
much. There is danger of reaction
and the town then goes down lower
than eyer, with little hope of ever
recovering its lost ground. In
proof of this statement we copy the
following from a Dakota paper
This is a town as dead as the tomb; it
died from the cause of too much
boom 1t was doomed by the papers
and boom id by the people, till prices
were hoisted as high as steeple. They
mastered the land with mortgages
deep. and burdened the town with
taxes so steep. They paid big bonus

suckers on whom to unload. But the
cash they yanked in from their vic
Tins so rank was all gobbled up by
inc three per cent" bank. It's off,
GERS skipped while the boom was
still high, and left the poor victims
to suffer and sigh
But alas for their hopes, they sigh 8
vain; they will never look on their
like again. The boom has fiattened
and left them broke" and the Can
ada trip is a sorry joke. And the
mortgages stick to that fated town,
for that which goes up must surely
come down. And though they may
brag of their excellent parks" the
suckers fight shy of the real estate
sharks. And the ad. in the paper
has had its day, for the agent who

The opening of narrow street
or rather alley between Conduit and
and Market street instead of extern
ding Cathedral street in straight
line,is but another instance of many
mistakes committed by our Councils
under the influence OF short-sight-
ed economy and disregard of any
general plan of our city looking to
the benefit of its population as a
community. While this opening
forms no continuous thoroughfare,
and does not supply any needed
communication, its expense is near
ly as great as the opening of Cathe-
dral street in a direct line, which
will sooner or later be a necessity,
as a direct communication from our
railroad stations to Spa creek and
the future EBAY City" extending
southwardly from Horn Point.
A great opportunity for the i'm
provement of Annapolis has been
lost in allowing this most attractive
portion of our city to be built up
without any judicious plan. With
the charming view which it COM
mands of Spa creek, its elevation
and exposure to all the southeaster-
ly breezes which insure delightful
summer temperature, it should
either have been set apart as public
park and terraced to the waters edge,
or have been laid out in lots facing
Cathedral street extended, with the
rear of the houses commanding the
beautiful view of the creek. 1t is
not too late to remedy this defect
and to secure to the city treasury a
valuable return in taxation.
This persistent disregard of the
original plan of Annapolis, and des-
truetion of our natural advantages
in the way of beautiful sites for res
licences, must end in transforming
our city into an unattractive village
and a consequent depreciation of
its desirableness as a place of resi-
dence. A carefully prepared plan
for future improvements should be
adopted by our council and enforc-
ed as the legal basis of city instead
of the rambling and unconsidered
policy which has nearly destroyed
all that rendered Annapolis once
attractive.
The sincerity of our democratic
aud republican principles, finds a
tangible contradiction in the sacri-
flee of the general good of the COM
munity to local or personal interests,
or to false economy as shown in
departure from the original far
sighted and beautiful plan which
insured beauty, easy communica.
ton, and diffused activity to every
part and person within the city linn
its. Every street radiating from
the State House and st. Annes as a
centre, and intended to have had
the water as its terminus, has been
cut off and diverted, and the COM
munications across the city so des-
stroyed as to leave a number of iso-
lated quarters condemned to inac-
ton and depreciation both as to
business and to morals. Thus the
tendency has been for years to re-
place what might have been a city
by disconnected village or town,
eventually destroying convenience
of communication, beauty and pub
lie health.
This subject should bespeak the
serious consideration of our citizens
and council and before it is too late
to try to develope Annapolis as a
city and not as village.

much. There is danger of reaction
